Real Estate Investor Sings Way to TaxRap Contest Title

Christian Pulfer is the grand prize winner of $25,000 in the TurboTax TaxRap contest. Pulfer's entry, "It's Just a Breeze…G," was selected by guest judge Vanilla Ice from more than 370 homemade rap videos.

Intuit sponsored the TaxRap contest, which ran from Feb. 8 to March 30 on YouTube and at www.TheTaxRap.com.

Intuit launched the contest with an original rap video by Vanilla Ice, titled “TurboTax Mojo,” which garnered more than 1 million views with homepage takeovers on YouTube, ranking as the most viewed entertainment video in its debut week.

"If you need a dollar, holler, 'cuz I got a lot back," Pulfer raps in his video, which was showcased on the homepage of www.YouTube.com on April 15.

"This video stood out as one of the most individual and creative entries," said Vanilla Ice. "The lyrical content, his style as a rapper - he put it all together and had some fun with it."
